NASA-Kennedy Space Center and the University of Central Florida’s College of Engineering and Computer Science invite you to help develop tomorrow’s workforce.

This partnership hosts Florida’s FIRST Robotics Regional competitions where schools from the entire state of Florida, North America, and Central America compete. Over 60 teams bring 2,500 high school students and 3,000 montors, family members and supporters to this event annually. These visitors will be frequenting our hotels, restaurants, and attractions for about one week.

The Regional prepares the next generation of scientists, engineers and technicians through a high tech super-charged learning atmosphere. It provides the environment to nurture a sense of value and self-worth in our young people. During these very difficult times for our country, this positive experience celebrates the basic values, which have been the foundation of America’s prosperity -- Learning, teamwork, innovation, entrepreneurship and gracious professionalism. Now more than ever it is important to support the development of a scientifically and technologically literate society and workforce.

If you are interested in becoming a Team or Regional Event Sponsor, there are a variety of ways you can support FIRST, including:
»   Providing financial support
»   Involving employees as mentors or volunteers
»   Providing equipment and facilities
»   Offering scholarships
»   Providing internships

Please address any questions you may have to one of our Fundraising Committee members.
